Author Bio

Ed Wheat, MD (1926-2001) was a family physician for decades and an authority on premarital and marital counseling. His wife, Gaye Wheat, has presented Christian Home seminars with her husband.

It is one of the best books ever. Sex is not shameful as often portrayed, and it is very nice that someone wrote a book for Christians. I give this book often as a wedding gift to couples. I have heard in my office many times over the years that the tools for a good marriage relationship were not given to a couple until it was nearly too late or too late. So I feel this book is a great gift to help couples learn to tear down the walls, fears, and false ideas about this part of their marriage relationship.

Ed & Gaye Wheat are both Christians, and Ed is a physician, so the first chapters in the book describe what God's word has to say about sex in marriage. The remaining chapters go into graphic anatomy lessons and address relevant questions & concerns for married couples.

We cannot express enough satisfaction with reading this book together as a married couple of 3 yrs now and not having any real clear understanding of how to fix issues we've had. highly recommend to anyone just started out of been married for however long you will not be disappointed! Sex is suppose to be fulfilling for us women to!
